1 As we get older we ind it harder to tolerate bad behaviour but we also learn how to ignore it.
2 As you get older, you learn good behaviour from interacting with adults.
3 I think when you’re young you don’t notice bad behaviour so much.
4 When you get older you need to learn good manners because you need more people
to think well of you.
5 I think old people believe good manners are important.
The people below talk about whether our attitude to behaviour changes as we get older. Read what
they say and complete the sentences. Then watch the video podcast from 2:21-3:17 and check your
answers.
Yeah, I think it does. I think as you get older you become, probably, a bit more
1 ___________ of certain, sort of, 2 ___________ behaviour and, as, when you’re
younger you’re probably not as aware of it.
Hannah
I think the older people, deinitely 3 ____________manners, good behaviour and
a good 4 _______________.
Colin
I 5 ___________ so. I suppose we learn how to be more 6 ___________ of it. We
can be, probably, more short-tempered of it because we’ve probably had it all of
our lives and we want it to, sort of, come to an end, but I think we learn how to,
sort of, either 7 ___________ from it or ignore it, that sort of thing.
Chris

Alexandra
Chloe: Yeah, deinitely. It becomes more important as you get older. You have to
impress more people, therefore, you have to be more 8 _________.
Alexandra: Yeah, and you gain a 9 ____________ as you get older as well. As
kids, like, you just say 10 ___________ you want to each other, kids, but you kind
of realise what you can and can’t say as you get older.
